14 Romantic RiverSong Bed and Breakfast Inn Summary The Big Thompson River which flows through the property is renowned for its great trout fishing. From the property there are wonderful views of snowcapped peaks and the ever changing splendor of Rocky Mountain National Park. The elevation is about 7800 feet. Most of the additional land is accessible and useable. The layout of the property is basically rectangular in shape. COMMENTS: Rarely do properties of this quality come on the market. This is a bed and breakfast inn that has carved out a niche as the most romantic place to stay. Its secluded location at the end of a winding country road and its park like setting make it ideal for any lodging accessory business such as a high end spa that could compliment the current guest services. Romantic RiverSong Inn has been featured nationally on network TV, written about in books such as 1000 Places to See Before you Die by Patricia Schultz, and has a strong repeat clientele that can only happen because of the great reputation it has built up over the 24 years as an Inn. The large acreage has lots of potential for a spa, a corporate retreat, or additional suites--one idea of which is a tree house! This property would also make a great family retreat with the lodge, kitchen, and dining areas for gathering of the family for group dinners and events. The suites then provide plenty of privacy for the entire family from the littlest babes to the seniors in the clan. To start these types of facilities from the ground up is becoming more and more of an expensive nightmare. It s almost impossible in this day and age to do the types of water features that this property has. In addition, this property is zoned correctly, has all the utilities and permits in place, and has a location unrivaled by any other. It has all the ambiance and beauty to continue to be a great place for all the good things in life, and an unparalleled place to live and work. This property will be shown by appointment only. 24 hours notice is requested.
